". . . it coalesces and offers blackberry, limestone, melted tar and sous-bois aromas the blossom with each swirl of the glass. The palate is full-bodied with slightly chewy tannins. Very good weight, very intense and quite backwards considering it now has 13 years on the clock. Well-knit on the finish, showing more precision than the 1994 but it needs a couple more years to develop character and secondary flavours. Keep. Tasted September 2011."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
In the Graves, the only Bordeaux appellation renowned for both reds and dry whites. Gravelly soils yield smoky, mineral reds and age-worthy Sauvignon-Semillon blends.
